Man Jeanie that looks great. Had a farmer out in Western KS that used to always put on a big calf fry the night before pheasant season opened. Good stuff. You ever try Chalula Chile Garlic sauce on fried catfish? I love it.

I have to admit I like it all! But I do prefer my RMOs, seared and grilled. Preferably right at the branding fire!I know you ranch so yours were probably the results of this year's branding, but do you know of any commercially available product that is not already breaded? I can only locate breaded RMOs.

Nick that sounds great! One thing western Kansas has is fresh calf fries and lots of pheasants. Hope you still get to go hunting out this way sometime. :)I have not tried Chalula chili garlic sauce.. it sounds great!I use the Chalula chili lime but didn't know they made a garlic sauce too. I will look for it. Thanks Nick!! :)

Dear Cowgirl,I stumbled upon your blog a few weeks ago and have been amazed at your ingenuity. I haven't been able to stop reading your past blogs! LOL!I have been very interested in smoking various meats just savin the pennies till i can get a decent smoker or muster up enough initiative to attempt the drum smoker project. LOL Anywho... I just wanted to say Great Blog and I look forward to reading it every day. Keep up the great work! Ed

Thank you so much Ed! It's nice to meet you. :)If you build a drum let me know. They are really efficient cookers and the price to build one is minimal.Thanks for checking out my blog too..I appreciate it Ed! :)

Dang it Jeanie I'm off on a vacation doing a bit of fishing and you have calf fries, catfish and hush puppies. I'll have to do a better job of planning next time... :)It looks like I missed some other good meals too!Not much catching but I did get some pictures that I'll send ya :)

Hi Amanda, nice to meet you!I have not heard of an add-water Q sauce it sounds interesting.If you use the button under my profile picture, you will be able to send an email to me.Thanks so much Amanda, I would love to try it!

Hi Jeannie, Well you said add some whole corn kernels to the battermix...

So you start with egg yoke and milk and then move to flour, hmm. Overhere the traditional way is flour, egg yoke, then breadcrums, or more often 'paneermeel' i.e. finely crushed or grated double baked biscuits (rusk). Personally I grate them through a fine sieve, so you only get the realy fine particles.

Need to try your way some time to see if it makes the crust stick better.

Hi Donald! :)On the calf fries I use the egg/milk mixture and dip them into cracker crumbs.On the fish I use yellow corn meal, flour and seasonings (no egg wash).Then when I make hushpuppies I put minced onion, jalapenos and whole kernals of corn in the hushpuppy batter. So there are three different coatings and batter going on in this cook. :)

Your biscuits sound very interesting! I will google them.. maybe I can find a recipe to try them.Thanks!! :)
